The Pittsburgh Penguins cleared house yesterday when they fired both Ron Hextall and Brian Burke.
In the aftermath, many had things to say about Hextall's reign.
GMs Reveal Hextall's Worst Move
It's been reported that a particular trade was a laughing stock around the NHL.
We're talking about the one that sent Mikael Granlund to Pittsburgh in return of a second round draft pick at the latest trade deadline.
This season, Granlund scored 41 points, Including 10 goals, in 79 games played and next year, he'll use 5 millions in the Pens' salary cap.
Despite Granlund's somewhat decent performance, the trade was widely criticized for being lopsided in favor of the Nashville Predators.
Many GMs in the league saw this as a sign of Hextall's inability to make wise decisions when it came to building a competitive team.
When the time comes, the Penguins organization will undoubtedly be looking for someone with a proven track record to help them regain their status as a top contender.
